Here are our top players at each offensive position for the 2010 NFL Draft:

Quarterback

1. Sam Bradford, Oklahoma – The most physically gifted quarterback to come out in some time. When healthy, he put up ridiculous passing stats in college

2. Tony Pike, Cincinnati

3. Colt McCoy, Texas – A proven winner who completed 70% of his passes in college. Size issues exist for sure, but the resume is solid.

4. Tim Tebow, Florida – An intense competitor and one of the great college football players of the era. He can be a good NFL Quarterback, but questions remain whether he can “re-learn” the position this late.

5. Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame – Has talent, but is generally overrated. Despite what “experts” say he does not belong in the 1st Round.

Running Back

1. Jahvid Best, Cal – When healthy, a unique talent who will produce highlights every week. Top home run threat in College Football since Reggie Bush – only Best played with much less surrounding talent.

2. Toby Gerhardt, Stanford – Over the past two seasons this physical runner with underrated quickness rushed for over 3,000 yards, including 19 games over 100 yards, and scored 42 touchdowns.

3. C.J. Spiller, Clemson – The hype is justified on special teams and he is also a great receiver. The rushing stats are solid but not spectacular – only 4 100-yard games over the last two seasons.

4. Ryan Mathews, Fresno State – Had a huge 2009 was both explosive and durable during games. However, many forget injuries have made him miss 6 games the last two seasons (more than Best.)
